Back in October , the FCCslapped a bunch of electronics retail merchant with ( small ) finesfor selling parallel TVs without the appropriate warning stickers of doom that the Set will formally be antiques on Feb. 17 , 2009 , when the digital switchover Revelation of Saint John the Divine happens . Best Buy is on the hook for $ 280,000 . But their attorney are tell the FCC that it ’s totally powerless here because they do n’t have Congressional mojo backing them up . Whatever sound mumbo jumbo is involved , we ’re glad the FCC repose down the ( now sorta ) law — we have the feeling it ’s why Best Buyofficially kicked analog TVsin the first shoes , and the less material to confuse our grandmas , the better .
